I'm not sure if all those so called economic experts are on the propaganda train when they say we can expect economic recovery in later 2009 or 2010 or if they're just that dumb. We have not seen the end of this by no means. The subprime meltdown was just getting us warmed up for what's to come. Check out this video:

I work deals primarily $500K and above. The profits depend on the deal. Just like they say that you make your money when you buy, with a short sale, you make your money when you evaluate it. Where is the property? Is it in an area where sales are good or poor? What is the age of the home? How long has it been on the market? All these things play a role in what you can negotiate it down to. Of course with the high end properties, you will make more than with the small deals. I've had some tell me banks move high end properties faster because they don't want them on the books. I see no difference between them and moderately priced homes. I still believe it depends on the mitigator's load. Hope that helps.

JB, I'd also like to mention that while you can get some very good advice on this forum, keep in mind that many of us may be in different states with different laws. Its always best to consult a real estate attorney. Especially when it comes to something like mentioned in the last paragraph of your first post.

And you guys keep quoting the media as if one, they knew what the hell they were talking about and two, we could believe anything they said if they did. They're equally as responsible for the mess this country is in as the fed and us fools that voted them in there.

Gotta wake people up before any of that happens. My sarcasm may seem harsh at times but Marilyn Manson doesn't sell CDs singing "Mary Had a Little Lamb".

There is that word again, Republican. How is that different from Democrat these days. Republicans use to be conservative, they had values such as patriotism. They felt our nation should be independent and sovereign to protect its people against things like terrorist threats. Reagan was the last thing we had that even resembled a Republican. Everything we've had since has been some globalist pushing our country into the pathetic little socialist society that it has become. Everybody asking uncle Samantha for a handout instead of taking responsibility for their own lives. All I can say is that I am proud to have been a member of the last generation of the free country of the United States.

Me, I would get rid of the Fed. While all of the above are really good ideas it doesn't get rid of the corruption or diminish the size of an overbearing, out of control government that is no longer for the people in which it is meant to represent. I'm even disgusted with my Governor right now, Mr. No Tax increase Crist, whose lying self is now seeking the Senate. So take him and ship him on down to Gitmo with the rest of them.
